Model Town." believe It's true, and
This summer has been no exception to
The rule.
Clean your cutters. The recent rains
have so loosened the earth that the rank
weeds can be easily removed. There
are several cutters that are eye sores to
our beautiful little place, and let them

THERE'S already some fever, and every
of its increase should be
strictly attended to. Look well to your
water supply. Let your cisterns and
wells be cleaned If any sediment and
debris have collected in them. The
water is common source of disease and
should be kept pure and wholesome.

M. f. Church last Sunday who made an
aimless dive at the book box, but was

promotion of social and warm feeling
among its members. There is too much
cold formality in the ordinary church of
to-day to fulfill its highest mission, and
the church social tends to break down
this often destructive feature.
